Race Face Half Nelson Locking Grips

The best performance from grips is often achieved when they are almost worn out. Half Nelsons are designed to provide a super tacky, thin feel right out of the box. This thin, tacky, and lightweight construction is exactly what you want in a grip.

The Single lock-on grip features a super slim, low-profile design that weighs 24g less than the Race Face Sniper lock-on pair. It utilizes Race Face's soft and durable, super tacky VEXY compound.

The thin and lightweight nature of the grip is a key selling point, as it delivers the feel and responsiveness that riders desire. When grips are brand new, they can often feel a bit stiff or rigid. However, as they break in and wear down over time, they tend to conform better to the rider's hands, providing a more comfortable and controlled feel.

This is where the Half Nelson grip excels. The tacky compound helps to create an almost seamless connection between the rider's hands and the handlebar, enhancing overall grip and control. The slim profile also contributes to this, allowing for a more natural and ergonomic hand position.

Compared to the Race Face Sniper lock-on pair, the Single lock-on grip is a significant 24g lighter. This weight reduction can make a noticeable difference in terms of reducing hand fatigue and improving overall bike handling, particularly on longer rides or more technical terrain.

The VEXY compound used in the construction of the Half Nelson grip is not only super tacky but also highly durable. This ensures the grip maintains its performance characteristics over an extended period of use, even as it gradually wears down.

In summary, the Half Nelson grip is designed to provide a superior out-of-the-box feel, with a thin, lightweight, and tacky construction that only improves as it breaks in. The Single lock-on version offers a significant weight advantage over the competition, making it an attractive option for riders seeking a high-performance, low-profile grip solution.
